Chapter 180 Magic and Potion 5
Seeing this, Earl William knew that he had lost the contest tonight and could only force a smile.
"Mrs. Haven, your words are very convincing. We, the Hawke family, are willing to reserve our opinion for the time being and see what happens next.
But if there is a problem at the estate, we will not stand idly by.”
His words were full of implicit doubts about Nan Xi.
As Earl William finished speaking, the atmosphere at the banquet became extremely tense. Earl William's doubts were like a huge rock pressing on everyone's heart. The guests' eyes were all focused on Nan Xi, waiting for her response.
Nan Xi took a deep breath. Words alone could not calm the doubts of the people present. She needed to prove her strength and determination with actions.
She raised her head and looked firmly at the dome of the banquet hall.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Nan Xi slowly raised her hand; her movements were graceful and calm.
Suddenly, she swung her palm into the air, and an almost invisible stream of air passed through the air with her movement.
"Let the power of nature bear witness to my commitment."
Her voice echoed in the banquet hall, clear and powerful. As her voice fell, a small tornado formed out of thin air in the center of the banquet hall.
Although this tornado is small, it contains powerful magical energy.
The guests watched in amazement as the tornado spun at an alarming speed, sweeping across the tabletop, picking up scattered napkins, empty wine glasses and food scraps without touching any decorations or affecting the guests.
The garbage at the banquet was swept into the air by the tornado and then cleverly guided to a corner where a large trash can had been prepared.
The tornado dropped the garbage into the bucket precisely, then slowly dissipated as if it had never appeared.
Throughout the whole process, Nan Xi kept a calm smile on her face, and she did not show any expression of effort.
There was silence in the banquet hall, followed by warm applause and admiration.
The Empire treats magicians very well. It is amazing that Madam Haven has become a powerful magician.
Earl William: "How...how is this possible?!"
There was a tremor in his voice, and he was obviously shocked by the magic displayed by Nan Xi. The other guests also began to whisper to each other, discussing Nan Xi's magic and her strength.
Nan Xi: "Earl William, this is just a small demonstration. I believe that with such power, I can lead the manor to a more prosperous future."
Nan Xi bowed gracefully, and the applause in the banquet hall became even louder. Many people, even many families and forces, made the decision in their hearts to make friends with Nan Xi.
Although Earl William was unwilling, he had to admit that Nan Xi's strength far exceeded his expectations. He forced a smile and showed his respect to her.
The banquet continued, but the atmosphere was completely different.
Nan Xi used her magic to prove her ability and established her position in the manor and even in the entire aristocratic circle.
After the banquet, Nan Xi returned to the study alone.
This is just the beginning. She needs more allies and more strength to deal with greater challenges that may come in the future.
She sat at her desk and began to plan her next move. She wanted to learn more powerful magic, expand her influence, and let everyone know that Nicole Haven, the once docile woman, had grown into a force that could not be underestimated.
In the following days, Count Marcus's estate became bustling as expected. Many orders came in like snowflakes, and even cranberries of average quality could be sold at a good price.
Charles was convinced by Nan Xi, and his attitude became even more respectful.
Nan Xi gave him a task, which was to tell Marcus everything in the manor every day in order to awaken his consciousness. Of course, this was not a task that could be accomplished.
Charles readily agreed and said many words of praise to Nan Xi in front of Marcus.
"Sir Marcus, it's a pity that you didn't see it with your own eyes. The lady is so kind, so lovely, so capable, and so intelligent..."
The manor became stable, and Nan Xi's strength was steadily increasing. Soon, trouble came.
The original owner's father, the current patriarch of the Haven family, Hyde Haven, is here.
"Nicole, you didn't even test out your magical affinity, how did you become a magician?"
Hyde just wanted to know this. If he knew the method, perhaps the Haven family could produce a few more magicians.
Nan Xi snorted coldly, "Lord Haven, this has nothing to do with you."
Hyde's face darkened. His once well-behaved daughter actually became disobedient. What an ungrateful person she was.
"Nicole, the good life you have now is all given to you by the family. If you don't speak up, the family may not care about you anymore.
Without the support of the family, you should know that those nobles will not give face to the sleeping Marcus, let alone a junior magician like you. "
Hyde actually attributed the credit for those nobles' willingness to associate with Nan Xi to the Haven family. Nan Xi ignored him and directly asked the butler to send the guests away.
"From now on, no one from the Haven family will be allowed to open the door."
Hyde was so angry that his beard stood up, "Nicole, don't be ungrateful."
Nan Xi went straight back to the second floor. She didn’t dare to take action against the original owner’s father, otherwise she would have beaten him up long ago.
Hyde left angrily. He ordered to sever ties with Nan Xi and issued a public statement.
Nan Xi wanted it more than anything and didn't care at all.
?
Nan Xi was sitting in the study room of the manor. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, casting a layer of golden glow on her profile.
Charles held an invitation letter from Reis College in his hand and handed it to her.
"Ma'am, this was just delivered by the concierge."
Charles' face was filled with pride, this was his main family, a magician's family that even the Reiss Magic Department had sent an invitation to.
Nan Xi took the invitation letter and looked at the handwriting on it. Then she suddenly realized that the original owner was a student majoring in pharmacy at Reis College.
I just dropped out of school because I got married.
The original owner had no affinity for magic, could not sense magical elements, and naturally could not cast any magic.
In the magic world, this almost meant that she had no chance to use magic. But Nan Xi was different. She relied on her powerful mental strength to break this limitation and sense the existence of magic elements.
She closed her eyes and felt the magical elements around her. They were like lively elves, spinning around her, waiting for her call.
Nan Xi can use spells of all kinds, which is unique in the magic world. She is a magician of all kinds.
Nan Xi made her choice immediately. She wanted to return to Reis College to continue the unfinished studies of the original owner. She wanted to study magic in the magic department and continue her studies in pharmacy.
This will help her gain a deeper understanding of the making of magical potions, and will also give her the opportunity to participate in various magical practices and studies.
Nan Xi put away the invitation letter, contacted Reis College, and expressed her wish to study both departments.
The college agreed to her special request and was even willing to provide her with some special resources and guidance to help her find a balance between the two departments.
